I’m a dark skinned Black woman that tans during the summer. It evens out my entire body complexion. When I sit in the sun it feels so therapeutic. Especially when I don’t feel well, I sit in the sun and it makes me feel energized. Thank you Lord for my MELANIN✅
We are already vitamin D deficient from the lack of sunlight, so what happens when we apply sun blocker? The pharmaceutical industry benefits from selling us vitamin D and companies selling sun blockers benefit from selling us their products. The skin is the largest organ of the body, so what is the absorption of these chemicals doing to our bodies? Food for thought.
I don’t understand. I lay in the sun without sunscreen for too long, i get sunburned because the sun is very strong. Sunscreen helps reduce the impact. I’m not a fan of pharma, but I also inadvertently tested this multiple times. So isn’t sunscreen one of the good things?
@@KingofgraceSARA Us/the Original First Nations Humans (Spiritual Custodians) haven't been completely erased thus far, we are still in the "fight" albeit with a representation of 3%. Our skins colors vary from fair to dark; depending on locality of birth. I am literally putting this to the test myself with my own skin coloring. I am 52 (Gen X), look younger than my age & have mixed bloodline from Polish sperm. I spend plenty of the time under the Sun (of God), I don't burn, I darken during the warmer seasons & have had no skin cancer or sus moles compared to the caucasians my age who are regularly getting stuff cut out of their body. Colonising cauc's descendants of Oz (around my age) started getting their bodies cut up from their mid to late 20's. I have also noted that travelers visiting Australia state that the caucasians look at least 10+ years older than their actual age, their skin really shrivels up. The cauc's won't get the hint that the Sun of God doesn't like them being here!!!
I say this all the time and I’m an applied physicist. The issue is ‘black’ is both a cultural assignment AND a percentage of dihydroxy indole carboxylic acid aka DHICA (yes melanin but this is the real name). All of us in the diaspora don’t have the same percentage. Our lighter skinned breathern do need more skin protection. But we can’t tell our more heavily melanated people to hide from the sun. I go out on the sun everyday. We need Vitamin D. All of Africa isn’t running around putting sunblock on.
They have never heard of it except for those that have left the continent for vacation, thise living abroad and the woke skincare gurus. If it is announced in churches and mosques where they gather weekly, the Africans I know wouldn't buy it, plus it's not affordable.
That's what I always figured. Lighter skinned people have less melanin so they may need to wear sun block. And regarding Vitamin D, earlier this year I actually didn't spend enough time in the sun and my doctor tried to just put me on a prescription for Vitamin D! When I went back to the doctor, she was almost offended that I didn't renew the prescription. I said no, I'm pretty sure I can just get it from the sun. So after that I made sure to spend enough time in the sun pretty much every day. But I found it offensive that she would just make a prescription for me and send it to me in the mail, rather than just telling me to get some sun.
Bros & sistas from light to dark that live in areas where the sun isn't as intense will turn pail or almost yellow especially if they're indoors all of the time. This is why we suffer the most from vitamin D deficiency. We will sunburn if we go on vacation to the tropics & immediately expose our bodies to massive amounts of solar UV. Our skin has to gradually adapt back to the sun. Sun exposure causes our bodies to signal melanocytes to produce more melanin. Usually a Black person will feel the bodies response to a noxious exposure to the sun's UV rays with redness, heat, inflammation and discomfort. This response is no where near what white people feel, which is akin to 2nd to 3rd degree burns. I live in Colorado & am very light skinned. I have "burned" from being in 4-5 hours of Cancun sun for 3 days with no shirt and no sunblock. My back felt hot, slightly inflamed and was slightly red. By the 4th day my body had released melanin and I had no more issues. I didn't peel or blister either. The redness and inflammation was replaced with a beautiful golden brown color that is my natural hue when I grew up in California. Before any tropical trips it's important for our people to prepare their skin by getting in the sun unprotected for 1 hour a day for around 7 days if they live and work without sun exposure. No one would participate in a triathlon without preparing your muscles cells first, right? The same is true for skin cells. Get them ready ahead of time so you aren't tempted to use cancer causing sunscreen!

I remember back in the day, nivea made a suncream advert where they showed how their suncream works under uv rays. They used a white child as the model. Under the uv light, the cream made the child look like she had been covered in black paint. Thats the whole point of sunscreen - to make fair skinned people look black under uv rays Black people do not need suncream There's recently been a push in the skincare industry for everyone to wear sunscreen for the purposes of "anti-aging" and preventing wrinkles. Remember black don't crack. People in Africa and the Carribean are out in the sun and have no cancer and have beautiful smooth skin. The lies are so obvious
EXACTLY..IM FROM THE CARIBBEAN...I DO NOT WEAR SUN SCREENS (NEVER HAVE) I ALSO USE NO MAKE UP. IM 60 AND IM ALWAYS TOLD THAT I LOOK LIKE 40. WE LIVE IN THE SUN.
@Working4God personally from a child I never believed the lies and I don't remember anyone black using sunscreen as it was only ever white kids who would get sunburn. Black kids being told to use sunscreen at school is a new thing. Like the guy in the video, I've had to put my foot down with school and nursery over my child not wearing sunscreen. However, at work I've had debates with some colleagues who wear sunscreen to prevent wrinkles which is something the skincare industry has been pushing over the recent years. I'm always telling these women to look at their elders from back home and think about the quality of their skin even though they never used sunscreen. On top of that, the intensity of the sun throughout all of Africa and the Carribean is far more intense than anything we experience in the UK which is even more reason for us to be in the sun without sunscreen to boost up our vitamin d. From my personal experience, I thought the whole idea of black people needing sunscreen was something only recently being pushed cos I know it was never a thing growing up and like I said, even as a kid I understood that nivea advert and the function of the sunscreen making it seem pointless for anyone with dark skin
Thank you! The sun energises us. We can synthesise the energy it gives us to our benefit unlike other races. It’s 32 degrees today in London and I’m going to be in the ☀️☀️☀️ for as long as possible 🤎 Glad you spoke on it!!!
This was very well done. The lack of differentiation between the types of melanoma in those news reports were so dangerous and misleading. Everyone should see this.
Yeah, that is shocking. So deceitful. And to get the black folks that probably have no idea to help sell it was just terrible. These two black nurses don't know any better. Medical professionals only regurgitate what they've been told so that's all they know. But when they start talking about debunking myths, I found that offensive. It's like saying black folks are a bunch of idiots believing in nonsense.
There’s a video I saw a while back on TH-cam with a lady in India discussing how toxic sunscreen is. Her advice, which I agree with, is to build up your melanin gradually in the sun outside of peak hours. Our melanin is our sunshine.
Natural oils that we've always used... As they say, "if you can eat it, then it's good for your skin". Give me 🫒 oil, 🥥 oil, 🥑 oil etc...any day of the week! 😊😊
@rererenee those 4 million are not Africans...they're are Euro-Africans. Don't call whites living in Africa Africans. They're trying to steal and erase your identity using African. Don't let them get away with that. Over time and even now they will argue that they are the indigenous people and they are NOT!
I also work in healthcare and I came across videos by a black doctor explaining how they give a broad diet that includes diary for older women because they claim they have to worry about Osteoporosis which is not very prevalent in black women yet lactose intolerance is more prevalent. So you had women eating more dairy to try and meet the food guidelines set for them when reality none of any of these guidelines apply specifically to us but are set according to white people.
There’s a book called Skinny “B…ch” (I didn’t write the full word just in case they sensor my comment) and in the book they explain how milk actually is very bad for our bones and does the opposite of helping osteoporosis. Very good read. I never looked at the food industry the same after all the truth bombs they dropped.
Well my first message was erased. But here I go again lol I read a book called Skinny Itch (put a B before the i) and it talked about how milk takes from the bones. The whole book was a huge eye opener.
@@sheilwins There's still a distinction. If you parents tell you things which are in fact pure nonsense but they actually believed it, would you write them off as simple liars? I still find these women offensive in their eagerness to insult the black community by saying that we believe in "myths", such as black don't crack. That's just a joke, a thing we like to say. I've never associated that joke with skin cancer or seen it associated that way. It's always said just to describe how black people don't visibly age like other people. And it is in fact the truth. Not that it's all that meaningful. We still live much shorter lives than whites so it's meaningless. But these women were too eager to please and to make us all look like idiots that believe in nonsense. That part seemed opportunistic, like black conservatives.
All I know is that every time in the past I have tried to use sun block, I broke out with huge bumps. So I never used it again. My mom said the doctor gave her lithium for depression a long time ago. She started getting sun burned. Then another doctor told her black people are not supposed to take lithium because of that reason.
I am from the Caribbean and I know for a fact that black people does not suffer from high rate of skin cancer. Farmers, construction workers, landscapers, fisher men would ALL be dead! I cringe when I hear black folks talking about the fact that we have to wear sunscreen to protect our skin from the sun. It seems like the more we learn, the drummer we get.
There's speculation that this is what led to a disproportionate COVID death toll in the United States for black Americans while Africans had miniscule death tolls: black Americans stayed indoors, resulting in dangerously low vitamin D levels and related immune related problems, while Africans went outside.
It's far more complex than that. It's about more than C19 or Vitamin D. It's about overall metabolic health and quality of food. Long before C19, and still after, there are several health complications that affect Americans, especially the poorest and most marginalized more so than they effect people who are said to be poorer and said to have less access to quality food. The SAD plays a large role in this. As does copious amounts of seed oils, massive amounts of sugar, a poisonous preservatives. Americans, across the board, regardless of race actually have higher instances of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease than some of the most impoverished places in Africa. This gets worse if you're poor or marginalized in America.@@mr_knowitall
Brilliant video! This is a type of work we as followers expect from the creators! First time here but I found this video on melanin very smart and very well articulated, documented, not just talks. Just brilliant! Thanks a lot! After my own research I found out melanoma is more serious than it sounds to be! The sun is one of the factors but not the ultimate cause of this deadly cancer! I hope one day you will be able to do more research and do us a video about it! Happy to give my sources! I subscribe straight away 👍🏿🙂
Excellent work as always. I think that the ‘Fitzpatrick Scale’ should be taught more in school regarding this issue. I remember hearing about the idea that ‘modern humans’ evolved (devolved) to have lighter skin when moving to less sunny regions like Europe…but then I was confused when learning that the highest rates of skin cancer in the world are all in Europe/West. Perhaps they didn’t evolve enough? Believe it or not, the explanation that they came up with was that these White nations have a higher life expectancy than the Black nations with the lowest rates (Black nation die too soon to get skin cancer). This implies that without disparities in life expectancy, skin cancer rates would be the same across the board, regardless of skin color…which is some bullsh*t.
Missed the live, but caught the video after the Live. Now the highest rates of melanoma are found in Australia, New Zealand, then Denmark..other European countries. The highest rates of skin cancers (various types) are mainly among people of European & some Asian descent in areas of the Middle East, Africa & other areas of the World and less likely among melanated people. Definitely check the ingredients in sunscreens & look them up! Many have dangerous ingredients! Thank you for this video TKM!
Fear is one of the four key emotions that drive people to action, alongside desire, anger and love. It can be a compelling force that grabs the audience's attention, creates a sense of urgency, and drives consumers to take action. They are really working hard to push an agenda and sell their product.
Many of these studies includes mixed people, so when they say black people get sunburned, they're speaking of these mixd lyt skin people. Also, I find these studies which claims people with black/dark skin requiring hours exposed to get adequate vitamin-D to be false, because these studies are mostly done in western cities where the weather is cold or cloudy and not near the equator, plus this also includes other factors like the type of clothes you're wearing, so if we are near the equator, we need only 15 - 20 minutes of sunlight while wearing only shorts, anywhere from 11:00 AM to 2PM for adequate Vitamin-D production
During my time in uni (south west London) we had a seminar regarding vitamins, minerals etc. now when it came to vitamin D deficiency, my lecturer, pointed out that 🖤 darker skin have the highest deficiency, in the country. Which didn’t sit well with me. I challenged my lecturer and she eventually showed us the data, the stats. All from one country, in Asia, INDIA! So they used records from a completely different country, in a different continent, to justify selling a product (in this case the sun in the bottle aka vitamin D), in another country, and possibly wider world! I finally asked her ‘How does that work?’ Let’s just say she didn’t like me the rest of the year 😂😂 @MisyeDiVre
Yoooo TKM, this was a good one. Damn! I feel you, especially with the ladies pushing the SPF, the news station knew what they were doing. Getting black women, busting/cosmetics background to further validate the narrative. Such as shame. I see this in the Puerto Rican community with the same subjects as well as religion and pharmaceuticals. How do we get our peoples to be more receptive to the things that pertain to us and that are to our own benefit, rather than adopting the status quo. The people running this world know exactly how to play this out. While we out. Ring consumer as, they are putting in the RD on this mental matrix. Thanks for sharing.
Great comment and I would think that we start by not requiring the affirmation of others in order for topics pertaining to us to be considered the truth. When we start to come into who we really are the naysayers are going to come out of the wood work because it decenters them and causes them to question their greatness which we know they would rather sit in their own shyte before they do that. I had to decide that with all the education that I have received from others I should be able to trust someone who looks like me with same veracity.
1 in 10 black people get a sun burn every year? That's a lot of people. But I've never known a single black person to get a sun burn. Not even the really light skinned people I grew up with, and we grew up playing out in the sun with reckless abandon. I don't think that number is accurate.
I once got sunburn in Mexico (Cancun and I was out for several hours). I turned to my white friends and told them if that happened to me every time I went out in the sun, I wouldn’t walk outside at all.
People who have low melanin are adapted for places where there is less sun exposure, the ones who have, for places where there is more exposure to the sun, both are adaptations for diferrent places and just this. Places where there is a lot of sun exposure like most of the south hemisphere having more melanin is a better adaptation, but places where there is not as much sun, having a lighter skin is better because makes you take vitamin D in less time. Its not about what is better, is about the place these caracteristics were adapted to! People with low melanin are more prone to problems related to sun exposure in tropical places if they dont take care of themselves, and People with a lot of melanin may face vitamin d deficiency in places where there is not a lot of sun, in the northern hemisphere.
A year ago, I had to rush to the doctor with swollen lips and numbness and swelling in my tongue. The doctor took a lick at my high blood pressure he told me that my medicine could kill me. My medicine contains contains ace inhibitors and 1 percent of people are allergic to this medication. Namely black people.i had been taking this medication for a little over 15 years and suffered from terrible bouts of choking which I thought would surely kill me. Consequently I phoned home to Trinidad to warm my sisters about this threat to black people only to find out that no medication swith ace inhibitors are used in Trinidad. While here in Canada they were trying to kill me with this medication.
"ACE cough" is common in white people as well. It's a well known side effect they tell you to look out for. I am Black, I have asthma and I was prescribed an ACE inhibitor, it's usually the first blood pressure medication they try. I developed an ACE cough during the winter and had it into the spring because I wasn't sure if it was asthma, a respiratory infection or allergies. When they changed my medicine it went away. There are newer more effective medications, yet they insist on starting everyone on ACE inhibitors. It's already known that another class of hyperextension medication works much better for us.
I love your channel young man! You’re making me proud with all the work you’re putting in for us blacks folks all around the world helping us get educated about ourselves! Keep up the good work…You’re our future!
This reminds me of the white lady laying on the beach in Africa putting on suntan lotion on. A little kid was watching her an he asked for some lotion. He put it on his hands and feet, basically the white parts of his body 😂😂😂😂😂 he's from Africa and he never saw anybody do that

The only reason I wear sunscreen is because of the melasma I have, which is from being multiracial. Therefore, I do not wear chemical sunscreen. I was advised to wear only mineral sunscreen. I would think that Black people applying chemicals to their skin would cause more cancer than the sun. As you say, it is laughable to "block" the sun when we naturally have sunblock. In my case, they are trying to keep the "genetically non-African" parts the same color as the African parts. I've noticed melasma in more mixed-race Africans-Africans combined with Europeans. I would say that if you have melasma, use zinc sunscreen. Absolutely do not use chemical sunscreen. And this is only for cosmetic reasons. Thank you for the information.
I'm dark skinned African American (from the USA) and I suffer from melasma, possibly due to medication. I use Black Girl Sunscreen lotion (SPF 30). My Dermatologist recommended mineral sunscreen by La Roche Posay but it leaves a white cast and feels drying. I am going to return to using it instead of the Black Girl Sunscreen. The Black Girl Sunscreen is a thick lotion, greasy, but does not leave a cast and doesn't darken my skin. I noticed that Ambi sunscreen darkened my skin ironically. As for face wash, I use Cetaphil bar soap. Throughout the day I put on makeup, NARS, in the New Caledonia shade.
Big ups, my brother, thank you for sharing. Very important info we the chosen people have forgotten rather stolen and destroyed info to keep us under their foot.
I use to fall asleep outside under the sun. No protection. I’ve never burned. I consider myself medium complexion. I know it’s relative but I have friends from South Sudan. I am heavily melanated but definitely medium. Anyway….. I have folks my hue saying foolishness about needing sun block. I’m in USA Georgia and have seen television News broadcasts saying Blacks need sun block as well.
Fun fact. In Linguala (Kongo) black translates to moyindo which means being of the sun. Moyi (Sun) Ndo (being). Also for my black sisters out there, you would be well advised to ditch the foundation and lay in the sun for 10 to 25 minutes. Richer color, even skintone and the glow is unmatched. ❤ y'all
Not only do Africans have several magnitudes less of a risk, they do so while being outside much more, *and* in much more extreme sunlight. It's also just a rare medical issue, even among Europeans. UV-induced cases are simply a non-issue for us.
Absolutely correct, how can we help in reaching one of them from cbs and one of those nurses, to answer some of the very valid questions you just stated? we deserve proper and crystal-clear answers, their responses need to be heard, this is serious?
Thank you for this very informative video. I learnt this many years ago about the positive relationship melanated people have with the sun. I must add by the way that for the matured skin over 45 years wearing a hat in sun protects the face. Hence why a lot of matured black people have much darker faces due to over exposure. That’s what I have noticed in my travels. Thank you.
When "Wyt" people talk about "Blk" people, we also need specifics, which they probably don't have to ability / knowledge to do. In my family alone there are about 4 distinct shades of "Blk" so....what do they mean? I know some "Redbones" that might get some freckling... I'm light but I tan like nobody's business. My sister is dark ebony and gets an even more gorgeous complexion in the sun. So...no, I'm not listening to wyt people about melanin nor sickle cell. Remember: Tuskegee and forced Hysterectomies.
It reminds me of oral hygiene products. Toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash are frequently cited as necessary for healthy teeth, yet people who live fully natural lives outside of """civilization""" still have perfect teeth. Why? They stay hydrated, they don't eat foods that damage their teeth, they get enough exercise, sunlight, and sleep to avoid stress. All of that is what keeps your teeth healthy, not some chemicals that someone is trying to sell you. But to be fair, in the US it's hard to avoid stuff that damages our teeth like processed foods. Also, mouthwash with alcohol (the most popular brand!) will actually dry out your mouth which increases risks of tooth damage. Your teeth need your saliva more than anything else, because your saliva is constantly working to break down the food stuck to your teeth and deliver nutrients that keep your teeth healthy.
European scientists of the white race have written articles in their science journals explaining how the white race came about due to mutating from Africans. It's frightening!
If you don't mind, i would like to know what blood pressure pills were your mom was taken. You see, I am also on blood pressure pills, for a while now, and black Caribbean, and I notice if I don't take the pill even if my blood pressure was fine, it can just spike or I will get headaches now and then or hear rays sound. So I feel like I have to take them. So if your mom got off the blood pressure pills, what is she taken now for it, and if the problem fix how ?
14:50 AA with chocolate complexion and 13% euro DNA here. I have moderate freckles on the backs of my hands and in my mid 20s, I started to get them on my face once I started going outside more. I read that it's simply latent freckle genes that are getting activated by sun exposure, not damage. One of my parent's relatives had freckles, I don't know what ethnicity.
Great work and well done.Thank you. How language usage directs and can program thought and perspective was/is extremely important. Yes, cancer-causing chemicals are found in a high number of sunscreens. Sounds like a drive for "equality" in death rates. Yes, Black people represent an untapped revenue stream for suncreen products. However, it is 1) even more important to someone that everyone on the planet learn to become afraid of the SUN and 2) that Black people either demean their melanin or at least disregard its attributes-starting with the most obvious one. WHY?
@kingmono My mother died from respiratory complications of a blood pressure medication. I believe it was the same medication you spoke about at the beginning of the video.
@kingmono This was over 20 years ago... And all this time, I did not know that it was a genetic reaction to this medication as an African. So this was not only insightful... I now need to make sure any other family or loved one is not on this medication.
Because we migrated away from the equator, our relationship to the sun has changed with the production of Vitamin D3. This is an essential element. Please add supplement. Do some research. Cancer is not the issue for us, Vit. D deficiency is the problem which is related to more autoimmune disorders. I am retired RN, worked neurology, saw too much multiple sclerosis in young Black people, all Vit, D deficient as kids don’t play outside like they used too. Mutation also affects melanin in the brain…Parkinson’s Disease.
@@sammyblar I wish that were true, please do some research, much depends on where you live and the angle of the sun. My last 6 years of nursing (out of 60), I encountered young (African American) people with autoimmune conditions of the nervous system, so I began researching. Unfortunately even your doctor may not understand, but my focus was on my community. Sarcoidosis was another one. I lost a husband to this and a cousin to MS in her 20s, so I had personal interest. I found very few physicians or nurses who would take the time to explain or acknowledge how the deficits damage our bodies . They very rarely monitor the Vit. D levels and treat sparingly. Do your own research, don’t listen to me!
@@vintagechild4418 thank you for taking the time to explain to me your experiences. I will indeed do more research. From the little research that I've done, i know the percentages of melanin you have is also important in how much sun absorbtion you need. So maybe being of mix race of which some afro-american/ black-american have euro ancestry genes also plays a part?
Thank you for this video i walk out side bearfoot in my cement back yarde in the 1 oclock sun ti hang my close on the Line. With No Hat and i have been doing for years and walking home from school in the 3 oclock SUN And PLAYING inthe Sun At school sports.
Shea Butter and Sunshine. That’s how we take care of our skin. We NEED sun exposure to be our healthiest selves.
Exactly. I don’t wear makeup or anything. Shea butter is all I need. These chemicals were not made for us.
Yup, golden brown like fried chicken 😅
Shea butter is everything!!!❤
Love shea butter! I use it everyday ❤
Yasss, as a former life guard and pool operator you speak facts! I had everybody using shea butter lol
I’m a dark skinned Black woman that tans during the summer. It evens out my entire body complexion. When I sit in the sun it feels so therapeutic. Especially when I don’t feel well, I sit in the sun and it makes me feel energized.

Sun is life.
When I soak in the sun, it feels like my insides are smiling 😊
My whole body just feels amazing!

So true, I do the same, it makes u feel energized
Same here. I feel energised sitting in the sun and it also helps me heal quicker when I’m not feeling well 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I've worked in the sun for 27 years no sun screen no problem.
“May the Sun be the food, fuel my molecules.” ☀️
We are already vitamin D deficient from the lack of sunlight, so what happens when we apply sun blocker? The pharmaceutical industry benefits from selling us vitamin D and companies selling sun blockers benefit from selling us their products.

I don’t understand. I lay in the sun without sunscreen for too long, i get sunburned because the sun is very strong. Sunscreen helps reduce the impact.
I’m not a fan of pharma, but I also inadvertently tested this multiple times. So isn’t sunscreen one of the good things?
Last time I checked, the two places with the highest rates of skin cancer were Australia and ISRAEL.
Two places where the people are not the original people.
Also the Kabyle Berbers of North Africa

That's what I always figured. Lighter skinned people have less melanin so they may need to wear sun block. And regarding Vitamin D, earlier this year I actually didn't spend enough time in the sun and my doctor tried to just put me on a prescription for Vitamin D! When I went back to the doctor, she was almost offended that I didn't renew the prescription. I said no, I'm pretty sure I can just get it from the sun. So after that I made sure to spend enough time in the sun pretty much every day. But I found it offensive that she would just make a prescription for me and send it to me in the mail, rather than just telling me to get some sun.
@@KuttyJoe she may have said that because she can’t do that without a lot of sunblock and it’s harmful effects who knows
Bros & sistas from light to dark that live in areas where the sun isn't as intense will turn pail or almost yellow especially if they're indoors all of the time. This is why we suffer the most from vitamin D deficiency. We will sunburn if we go on vacation to the tropics & immediately expose our bodies to massive amounts of solar UV. Our skin has to gradually adapt back to the sun. Sun exposure causes our bodies to signal melanocytes to produce more melanin. Usually a Black person will feel the bodies response to a noxious exposure to the sun's UV rays with redness, heat, inflammation and discomfort. This response is
no where near what white people feel, which is akin to 2nd to 3rd degree burns. I live in Colorado & am very light skinned. I have "burned" from being in 4-5 hours of Cancun sun for 3 days with no shirt and no sunblock. My back felt hot, slightly inflamed and was slightly red. By the 4th day my body had released melanin and I had no more issues. I didn't peel or blister either. The redness and inflammation was replaced with a beautiful golden brown color that is my natural hue when I grew up in California. Before any tropical trips it's important for our people to prepare their skin by getting in the sun unprotected for 1 hour a day for around 7 days if they live and work without sun exposure. No one would participate in a triathlon without preparing your muscles cells first, right? The same is true for skin cells. Get them ready ahead of time so you aren't tempted to use cancer causing sunscreen!

I am lite skin black, and the sun ALWAYS makes my skin look better!
These sun screens more than likely cause other kinds of cancer and organ failure which is why they say reapply until you die😢
👍🏽
They destroyed the reefs in the ocean Hawaii banned them
I remember back in the day, nivea made a suncream advert where they showed how their suncream works under uv rays. They used a white child as the model. Under the uv light, the cream made the child look like she had been covered in black paint. Thats the whole point of sunscreen - to make fair skinned people look black under uv rays
Black people do not need suncream
There's recently been a push in the skincare industry for everyone to wear sunscreen for the purposes of "anti-aging" and preventing wrinkles.
Remember black don't crack. People in Africa and the Carribean are out in the sun and have no cancer and have beautiful smooth skin. The lies are so obvious
Nuff said.
The lies are obvious now… but at some point we believed these lies.
EXACTLY..IM FROM THE CARIBBEAN...I DO NOT WEAR SUN SCREENS (NEVER HAVE) I ALSO USE NO MAKE UP. IM 60 AND IM ALWAYS TOLD THAT I LOOK LIKE 40. WE LIVE IN THE SUN.
@Working4God personally from a child I never believed the lies and I don't remember anyone black using sunscreen as it was only ever white kids who would get sunburn.
Black kids being told to use sunscreen at school is a new thing. Like the guy in the video, I've had to put my foot down with school and nursery over my child not wearing sunscreen.
However, at work I've had debates with some colleagues who wear sunscreen to prevent wrinkles which is something the skincare industry has been pushing over the recent years. I'm always telling these women to look at their elders from back home and think about the quality of their skin even though they never used sunscreen. On top of that, the intensity of the sun throughout all of Africa and the Carribean is far more intense than anything we experience in the UK which is even more reason for us to be in the sun without sunscreen to boost up our vitamin d.
From my personal experience, I thought the whole idea of black people needing sunscreen was something only recently being pushed cos I know it was never a thing growing up and like I said, even as a kid I understood that nivea advert and the function of the sunscreen making it seem pointless for anyone with dark skin
Yep, you debunked that foolishness. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
The sun energises us. We can synthesise the energy it gives us to our benefit unlike other races.
It’s 32 degrees today in London and I’m going to be in the ☀️☀️☀️ for as long as possible 🤎

This was very well done. The lack of differentiation between the types of melanoma in those news reports were so dangerous and misleading. Everyone should see this.
Yeah, that is shocking. So deceitful. And to get the black folks that probably have no idea to help sell it was just terrible. These two black nurses don't know any better. Medical professionals only regurgitate what they've been told so that's all they know. But when they start talking about debunking myths, I found that offensive. It's like saying black folks are a bunch of idiots believing in nonsense.
I wear the same sunscreen they use in Africa and Caribbean …. My skin 😅
Love this
There are natural clays and resins, things like red okra paste that are used for sun protection in Africa. It aids the skin, not blocking vitamin D
There’s a video I saw a while back on TH-cam with a lady in India discussing how toxic sunscreen is. Her advice, which I agree with, is to build up your melanin gradually in the sun outside of peak hours. Our melanin is our sunshine.
Natural oils that we've always used...
As they say, "if you can eat it, then it's good for your skin".
Give me 🫒 oil, 🥥 oil, 🥑 oil etc...any day of the week! 😊😊
What race were the Africans that had skin Cancer? There's over 4mil Caucasians in Africa. 🧏🏾♀️
Great question. That's why sampling in any of these studies can be selective and misleading
@@kingmono It can be black people who bleached their skin to become white. They intetionally removed their melanin and are not protected anymore.
Now this is something I want to look up.
@rererenee those 4 million are not Africans...they're are Euro-Africans. Don't call whites living in Africa Africans. They're trying to steal and erase your identity using African. Don't let them get away with that. Over time and even now they will argue that they are the indigenous people and they are NOT!
probably Afrikaaners
I also work in healthcare and I came across videos by a black doctor explaining how they give a broad diet that includes diary for older women because they claim they have to worry about Osteoporosis which is not very prevalent in black women yet lactose intolerance is more prevalent. So you had women eating more dairy to try and meet the food guidelines set for them when reality none of any of these guidelines apply specifically to us but are set according to white people.
❤️ thank you for sharing. We need a collection of these cases.
And you will get sick eating like they want you too
There’s a book called Skinny “B…ch” (I didn’t write the full word just in case they sensor my comment) and in the book they explain how milk actually is very bad for our bones and does the opposite of helping osteoporosis. Very good read. I never looked at the food industry the same after all the truth bombs they dropped.
Well my first message was erased. But here I go again lol I read a book called Skinny Itch (put a B before the i) and it talked about how milk takes from the bones. The whole book was a huge eye opener.
And they just need more vegetables and minerals.
Thanks for everything you do for the community, we are proud of u . U are deeply inteligent

It's so sad to witness how accomplished our people are in lying to our own people 😞
I don't think they're lying. I think they're telling us what they've been told. They just don't know any better.
@@KuttyJoe not knowing yet telling it as if they know.. is still a lie
@@sheilwins There's still a distinction. If you parents tell you things which are in fact pure nonsense but they actually believed it, would you write them off as simple liars? I still find these women offensive in their eagerness to insult the black community by saying that we believe in "myths", such as black don't crack. That's just a joke, a thing we like to say. I've never associated that joke with skin cancer or seen it associated that way. It's always said just to describe how black people don't visibly age like other people. And it is in fact the truth. Not that it's all that meaningful. We still live much shorter lives than whites so it's meaningless. But these women were too eager to please and to make us all look like idiots that believe in nonsense. That part seemed opportunistic, like black conservatives.
@KuttyJoe
I agree, most of them are paid to lie to us.
All I know is that every time in the past I have tried to use sun block, I broke out with huge bumps. So I never used it again. My mom said the doctor gave her lithium for depression a long time ago. She started getting sun burned. Then another doctor told her black people are not supposed to take lithium because of that reason.
God bless African people ❤❤❤
Amen!
The parents of ALL!
Brother, what about us asiatic blacks?
@eyeoftruth4405 do you mean someone like the negritos, papuans, fijian etc or just someone of immigrant african descent
I am from the Caribbean and I know for a fact that black people does not suffer from high rate of skin cancer. Farmers, construction workers, landscapers, fisher men would ALL be dead! I cringe when I hear black folks talking about the fact that we have to wear sunscreen to protect our skin from the sun. It seems like the more we learn, the drummer we get.
I totally agree.
Thank you for this video. It is so needed.
🙏🏾 happy it's been well received. Please share it... our people are being deceived.
ABSOLUTELY
They have us scared to go outside here. My vitamin D is so low because of that
Up nourish liposomal vitamin d is amazing
There's speculation that this is what led to a disproportionate COVID death toll in the United States for black Americans while Africans had miniscule death tolls: black Americans stayed indoors, resulting in dangerously low vitamin D levels and related immune related problems, while Africans went outside.
It's far more complex than that. It's about more than C19 or Vitamin D.
It's about overall metabolic health and quality of food. Long before C19, and still after, there are several health complications that affect Americans, especially the poorest and most marginalized more so than they effect people who are said to be poorer and said to have less access to quality food.
The SAD plays a large role in this. As does copious amounts of seed oils, massive amounts of sugar, a poisonous preservatives.
Americans, across the board, regardless of race actually have higher instances of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease than some of the most impoverished places in Africa.
This gets worse if you're poor or marginalized in America.@@mr_knowitall

Brilliant video! This is a type of work we as followers expect from the creators! First time here but I found this video on melanin very smart and very well articulated, documented, not just talks. Just brilliant! Thanks a lot!
After my own research I found out melanoma is more serious than it sounds to be! The sun is one of the factors but not the ultimate cause of this deadly cancer! I hope one day you will be able to do more research and do us a video about it! Happy to give my sources!
I subscribe straight away 👍🏿🙂
Thank you. Your video was very informative and made research very easy. Keep up the good work.
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Excellent work as always. I think that the ‘Fitzpatrick Scale’ should be taught more in school regarding this issue.
I remember hearing about the idea that ‘modern humans’ evolved (devolved) to have lighter skin when moving to less sunny regions like Europe…but then I was confused when learning that the highest rates of skin cancer in the world are all in Europe/West. Perhaps they didn’t evolve enough?
Believe it or not, the explanation that they came up with was that these White nations have a higher life expectancy than the Black nations with the lowest rates (Black nation die too soon to get skin cancer). This implies that without disparities in life expectancy, skin cancer rates would be the same across the board, regardless of skin color…which is some bullsh*t.
Missed the live, but caught the video after the Live. Now the highest rates of melanoma are found in Australia, New Zealand, then Denmark..other European countries. The highest rates of skin cancers (various types) are mainly among people of European & some Asian descent in areas of the Middle East, Africa & other areas of the World and less likely among melanated people.
Definitely check the ingredients in sunscreens & look them up! Many have dangerous ingredients!
Thank you for this video TKM!
Fear is one of the four key emotions that drive people to action, alongside desire, anger and love. It can be a compelling force that grabs the audience's attention, creates a sense of urgency, and drives consumers to take action.
They are really working hard to push an agenda and sell their product.
So well done! Digging the improvements you’ve made as well 👏🏾
Wow I missed the live 😢, will be watching it again
NEVER USED THAT STUFF. My husband insisted it for my light skinned children. Thank you for this conversation.
Many of these studies includes mixed people, so when they say black people get sunburned, they're speaking of these mixd lyt skin people. Also, I find these studies which claims people with black/dark skin requiring hours exposed to get adequate vitamin-D to be false, because these studies are mostly done in western cities where the weather is cold or cloudy and not near the equator, plus this also includes other factors like the type of clothes you're wearing, so if we are near the equator, we need only 15 - 20 minutes of sunlight while wearing only shorts, anywhere from 11:00 AM to 2PM for adequate Vitamin-D production
The vitamin D studies are not false. They require more context, but that doesn't make them false.
During my time in uni (south west London) we had a seminar regarding vitamins, minerals etc. now when it came to vitamin D deficiency, my lecturer, pointed out that 🖤 darker skin have the highest deficiency, in the country. Which didn’t sit well with me. I challenged my lecturer and she eventually showed us the data, the stats. All from one country, in Asia, INDIA! So they used records from a completely different country, in a different continent, to justify selling a product (in this case the sun in the bottle aka vitamin D), in another country, and possibly wider world! I finally asked her
‘How does that work?’
Let’s just say she didn’t like me the rest of the year 😂😂
@MisyeDiVre

Yoooo TKM, this was a good one. Damn! I feel you, especially with the ladies pushing the SPF, the news station knew what they were doing. Getting black women, busting/cosmetics background to further validate the narrative. Such as shame. I see this in the Puerto Rican community with the same subjects as well as religion and pharmaceuticals. How do we get our peoples to be more receptive to the things that pertain to us and that are to our own benefit, rather than adopting the status quo. The people running this world know exactly how to play this out. While we out. Ring consumer as, they are putting in the RD on this mental matrix. Thanks for sharing.
Great comment and I would think that we start by not requiring the affirmation of others in order for topics pertaining to us to be considered the truth. When we start to come into who we really are the naysayers are going to come out of the wood work because it decenters them and causes them to question their greatness which we know they would rather sit in their own shyte before they do that. I had to decide that with all the education that I have received from others I should be able to trust someone who looks like me with same veracity.
1 in 10 black people get a sun burn every year? That's a lot of people. But I've never known a single black person to get a sun burn. Not even the really light skinned people I grew up with, and we grew up playing out in the sun with reckless abandon. I don't think that number is accurate.
I got sun burn one time and after that I never got it again even when I went to hotter places. I guess because I use to never go out in the sun.
**mixed
I once got sunburn in Mexico (Cancun and I was out for several hours). I turned to my white friends and told them if that happened to me every time I went out in the sun, I wouldn’t walk outside at all.
Maybe the ones who bleach, or the part-times like Kamala Harris.
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to do this. I loved it! ❤️
People who have low melanin are adapted for places where there is less sun exposure, the ones who have, for places where there is more exposure to the sun, both are adaptations for diferrent places and just this. Places where there is a lot of sun exposure like most of the south hemisphere having more melanin is a better adaptation, but places where there is not as much sun, having a lighter skin is better because makes you take vitamin D in less time. Its not about what is better, is about the place these caracteristics were adapted to! People with low melanin are more prone to problems related to sun exposure in tropical places if they dont take care of themselves, and People with a lot of melanin may face vitamin d deficiency in places where there is not a lot of sun, in the northern hemisphere.
A year ago, I had to rush to the doctor with swollen lips and numbness and swelling in my tongue. The doctor took a lick at my high blood pressure he told me that my medicine could kill me. My medicine contains contains ace inhibitors and 1 percent of people are allergic to this medication. Namely black people.i had been taking this medication for a little over 15 years and suffered from terrible bouts of choking which I thought would surely kill me. Consequently I phoned home to Trinidad to warm my sisters about this threat to black people only to find out that no medication swith ace inhibitors are used in Trinidad. While here in Canada they were trying to kill me with this medication.
!!!! This. Horrible de ja vu. Thank you for sharing.
"ACE cough" is common in white people as well. It's a well known side effect they tell you to look out for. I am Black, I have asthma and I was prescribed an ACE inhibitor, it's usually the first blood pressure medication they try. I developed an ACE cough during the winter and had it into the spring because I wasn't sure if it was asthma, a respiratory infection or allergies. When they changed my medicine it went away. There are newer more effective medications, yet they insist on starting everyone on ACE inhibitors. It's already known that another class of hyperextension medication works much better for us.
I love your channel young man! You’re making me proud with all the work you’re putting in for us blacks folks all around the world helping us get educated about ourselves! Keep up the good work…You’re our future!
Thank you 🙏🏾

I WORSHIP YOU SUN 🌞 🙏🏿 🙌🏿
The only reason I wear sunscreen is because of the melasma I have, which is from being multiracial. Therefore, I do not wear chemical sunscreen. I was advised to wear only mineral sunscreen.
I would think that Black people applying chemicals to their skin would cause more cancer than the sun. As you say, it is laughable to "block" the sun when we naturally have sunblock. In my case, they are trying to keep the "genetically non-African" parts the same color as the African parts. I've noticed melasma in more mixed-race Africans-Africans combined with Europeans.
I would say that if you have melasma, use zinc sunscreen. Absolutely do not use chemical sunscreen. And this is only for cosmetic reasons.
Thank you for the information.
I'm dark skinned African American (from the USA) and I suffer from melasma, possibly due to medication. I use Black Girl Sunscreen lotion (SPF 30). My Dermatologist recommended mineral sunscreen by La Roche Posay but it leaves a white cast and feels drying. I am going to return to using it instead of the Black Girl Sunscreen. The Black Girl Sunscreen is a thick lotion, greasy, but does not leave a cast and doesn't darken my skin. I noticed that Ambi sunscreen darkened my skin ironically. As for face wash, I use Cetaphil bar soap. Throughout the day I put on makeup, NARS, in the New Caledonia shade.
That's a very true statement about SPF even in the francosphere!!! They even have ads targeting black people showcasing mixed kids and black kids.
Big ups, my brother, thank you for sharing. Very important info we the chosen people have forgotten rather stolen and destroyed info to keep us under their foot.
I use to fall asleep outside under the sun. No protection. I’ve never burned. I consider myself medium complexion. I know it’s relative but I have friends from South Sudan. I am heavily melanated but definitely medium. Anyway….. I have folks my hue saying foolishness about needing sun block. I’m in USA Georgia and have seen television News broadcasts saying Blacks need sun block as well.
Fun fact. In Linguala (Kongo) black translates to moyindo which means being of the sun. Moyi (Sun) Ndo (being).
Also for my black sisters out there, you would be well advised to ditch the foundation and lay in the sun for 10 to 25 minutes. Richer color, even skintone and the glow is unmatched. ❤ y'all

Not only do Africans have several magnitudes less of a risk, they do so while being outside much more, *and* in much more extreme sunlight. It's also just a rare medical issue, even among Europeans. UV-induced cases are simply a non-issue for us.

Thank you for this very informative video. I learnt this many years ago about the positive relationship melanated people have with the sun. I must add by the way that for the matured skin over 45 years wearing a hat in sun protects the face. Hence why a lot of matured black people have much darker faces due to over exposure. That’s what I have noticed in my travels. Thank you.
When "Wyt" people talk about "Blk" people, we also need specifics, which they probably don't have to ability / knowledge to do.
In my family alone there are about 4 distinct shades of "Blk" so....what do they mean? I know some "Redbones" that might get some freckling... I'm light but I tan like nobody's business. My sister is dark ebony and gets an even more gorgeous complexion in the sun. So...no, I'm not listening to wyt people about melanin nor sickle cell.
Remember: Tuskegee and forced Hysterectomies.
It reminds me of oral hygiene products. Toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash are frequently cited as necessary for healthy teeth, yet people who live fully natural lives outside of """civilization""" still have perfect teeth. Why? They stay hydrated, they don't eat foods that damage their teeth, they get enough exercise, sunlight, and sleep to avoid stress. All of that is what keeps your teeth healthy, not some chemicals that someone is trying to sell you. But to be fair, in the US it's hard to avoid stuff that damages our teeth like processed foods.
Also, mouthwash with alcohol (the most popular brand!) will actually dry out your mouth which increases risks of tooth damage. Your teeth need your saliva more than anything else, because your saliva is constantly working to break down the food stuck to your teeth and deliver nutrients that keep your teeth healthy.
Avoid fluoride like the plague!!!!

What is the blood pressure medication referred to ?? My mum just began high blood pressure medication on the NHS.HELP!
Melanin, that which gives skin color, is found in most life, with spiders being one of the exceptions.
If you don't mind, i would like to know what blood pressure pills were your mom was taken. You see, I am also on blood pressure pills, for a while now, and black Caribbean, and I notice if I don't take the pill even if my blood pressure was fine, it can just spike or I will get headaches now and then or hear rays sound. So I feel like I have to take them. So if your mom got off the blood pressure pills, what is she taken now for it, and if the problem fix how ?

The reason why you are drained after being in the sun is because you do not hydrate enough. I used to be like you and the cure was just simple water.
Great work and well done.Thank you. How language usage directs and can program thought and perspective was/is extremely important. Yes, cancer-causing chemicals are found in a high number of sunscreens. Sounds like a drive for "equality" in death rates. Yes, Black people represent an untapped revenue stream for suncreen products. However, it is 1) even more important to someone that everyone on the planet learn to become afraid of the SUN and 2) that Black people either demean their melanin or at least disregard its attributes-starting with the most obvious one. WHY?

@kingmono This was over 20 years ago... And all this time, I did not know that it was a genetic reaction to this medication as an African. So this was not only insightful... I now need to make sure any other family or loved one is not on this medication.
good video g
I have been saying those. It’s the UV prevention that causes skin cancer in black people, not the sun, which is beneficial and healing to us.
Thank you so much for this, we need the sun. 🌅🌄🔆
Because we migrated away from the equator, our relationship to the sun has changed with the production of Vitamin D3. This is an essential element. Please add supplement. Do some research. Cancer is not the issue for us, Vit. D deficiency is the problem which is related to more autoimmune disorders.
I am retired RN, worked neurology, saw too much multiple sclerosis in young Black people, all Vit, D deficient as kids don’t play outside like they used too.
Mutation also affects melanin in the brain…Parkinson’s Disease.
We work in offices and inside so we don’t get sun :(
@@Maatson_ that too. But supplements should start early.
Just get some sun. Suppliments not needed
@@sammyblar I wish that were true, please do some research, much depends on where you live and the angle of the sun. My last 6 years of nursing (out of 60), I encountered young (African American) people with autoimmune conditions of the nervous system, so I began researching. Unfortunately even your doctor may not understand, but my focus was on my community. Sarcoidosis was another one. I lost a husband to this and a cousin to MS in her 20s, so I had personal interest. I found very few physicians or nurses who would take the time to explain or acknowledge how the deficits damage our bodies . They very rarely monitor the Vit. D levels and treat sparingly. Do your own research, don’t listen to me!
@@vintagechild4418 thank you for taking the time to explain to me your experiences. I will indeed do more research. From the little research that I've done, i know the percentages of melanin you have is also important in how much sun absorbtion you need. So maybe being of mix race of which some afro-american/ black-american have euro ancestry genes also plays a part?
Thank you for this video i walk out side bearfoot in my cement back yarde in the 1 oclock sun ti hang my close on the Line. With No Hat and i have been doing for years and walking home from school in the 3 oclock SUN And PLAYING inthe Sun At school sports.
Wow. They are foul.
They're just trying to make it seem like our skin is a curse from yet ANOTHER angle. They do this all the time on many subjects.
Nephew, I have been saying this for years. We do get skin cancer BUT not because of the sun.
What is the medication?
